I don't need chicken soup or dinner
sent to my table, or hugs and admonitions to eat/sleep well, or even
having a hand to hold while I sit thru my busiest and most stressful
time of the semester.. I don't need all that, but why couldn't you
have given me just a bit more love? As is, weekends are spent telling
me to work while driving to church/friend's house, or playing games
while I talk to your ceiling. Weekdays mostly wake up calls and good
night calls to report on my progress on work or your work problems.
I want more than that. I agree that I
need all my time for work, but I do take breaks. When I wait for my
file to save, or for my laptop to finish restarting. While I wait for
the bus. In the three minutes my instant noodles is cooking. While I
eat my dinner. Why couldn't you have put more thought into what
little time I have? Tell me about the bible verse you read today, or
describe a new song you heard on the radio. Ask me if I cooked, or
where I did my work today. Is the weather warm enough to wear shorts?
Have I started working on my facades yet? Little questions. Not just
how's work, or how many percent done. Not even how are you. Ask
specific questions. Tell me specific answers. Elaborate. Improvise.
But if you don't think it necessary,
never mind I asked. I've got to get back to work anyway.
Update
I'm sorry I complained, and I understand now how you wished our relationship were. I suppose I could handle it, if that is how you wanted it to be.
